Shannon A It was our first time at Nilsen eye care and it was amazing. From the moment we walked in the staff was super helpful and friendly. We were even able to pick up our glasses on the same day! The last place I went you had to wait 2-3 weeks!!!

Anonymous I came in for an eye exam and left with an education! Loved the efficient and friendly service but what impressed me the most was how my technician explained what they were doing and why throughout the testing. Then my doctor not only did a thorough exam but also spent extra time discussing how blood pressure and systemic health affects my eyes. I learned a lot and would recommend this office to anyone. Also, definitely get the optional photos. Best exam ever.

Claudia W Every single person at this office is as friendly and helpful as they can possibly be. I had originally switched from another practice because this practice accepts my VSP insurance, and it was the best move ever. Always a great experience when I go in!

Robert P The folks at Nilsen Eye Care are rock stars, especially Dr. Alexandra Nilsen. Everyone strives to make you feel comfortable and to provide the best care possible.
